Major League Baseball handed Atlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna a retroactive, unpaid suspension of 20 games for violating its joint domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse policy.
Ozuna, 31, was arrested in May and charged with aggravated assault by strangulation and battery after police allegedly saw him grab his wife by her neck and throw her against a wall. Originally felonies, the charges were reduced to misdemeanor family violence battery and misdemeanor simple assault.
He did not play again in 2021 for the Braves, who went on to win the World Series.
